Here’s the first sneak first look of of a brand new queer Neo-noir musical series which will tell “The Truth about Fairy Tales” .. Starring genderfluid R+ B singer Diimond this track ‘Bad Attitude’ channels Billie Holiday, Prince and Sylvester. Its a song of regret and frustration after being beaten, yet again, by his psychotically possessive manager.
Also co-starring actor Emrhys Cooper “The Truth About Fairy Tales” is set in the hard-partying Hollywood nightclub scene and tells the true story of a struggling music artist (Diimond), whose life becomes intoxicatingly glamorous upon meeting his Prince Charming manager/producer, Damion (Cooper).
But living the romantic show biz dream soon becomes a living hell. Pretty boy Damion is exposed as the Ike to Dimmond’s Tina Turner. Imprisoned, abused, and at the mercy of Damion’s drug-fueled rage and self-hatred, a shaken and terrified Diimond takes his revenge.
It is all based on a bleak period in the career of Diimond, an award-winning recording artist and former American Idol and America’s Got Talent contestant, “The Truth About Fairy Tales” is a story of control, manipulation, emotional abuse and shattered dreams.
Directed by Leo Ramsey with cinematography Ramon J. Goni, “Bad Attitude” is an intense music video, and shooting it was equally so for all involved.
“It felt very raw, says Diimond, both Emrhys and I had to take breaks between scenes because it was so emotionally exhausting. Em really pulled the actor out of me for this because he was so committed to telling the truth. He even kept apologizing for being so “rough” with me. Secretly, I didn’t mind that as much. Is that bad?
Bad Attitude” and the following “Lungs” (March 27, 2020) are from the first episode and pilot of “The Truth About Fairy Tales” musical television miniseries encompassing eight episodes, each of which will include five new songs by Diimond.
